At first glance "Misumisou" does not look like it would be a horror story, based on its art style. However, this manga does a really good job at showing some truly terrifying emotion and detailed gore that truly made it a horror story worth reading.

The story follows a middle school student named Haruka, as she transfers to a small town and is bullied at her new school, when the bullies go to far she decides to kill those that have taken away what was important to her. Even though the plot is simple, it gets its emotions across well and shows the trauma that the bullies and protagonist endured that lead them on the current path they are on. The setting also gets across the isolated feeling that these kids face everyday. Living in a town with a depleting population where there is nothing for them to experience and look forward to, makes it so they naturally go insane with boredom leading to a lot of the violent acts they commit.

Overall this is a well done horror manga from an author that mainly does comedic series. The characters and environment give off the feeling of desolation and seclusion that is very foreboding, and the art does an amazing job at showing characters at their absolute limit. I would recommend this series to anyone looking for a gory horror manga that shows the extreme affects of bullying.
